What's for Dinner?

Please do. I end up buying jarred sauce but it's just meh. It works on pizza because I don't have to use too much - but I don't even make spaghetti anymore because of the jarred sauce. Everything is better homemade... and I need to try out some sauces and get a good one. I've made some great meatballs - why not sauce too.

Lamb Family Spaghetti Recipe

Ingredients:
1 package Lawry’s Spaghetti Sauce Mix (for less spicy, use ½)
1 can Hunt’s Manwich Sauce
1 6-oz can tomato paste
1 jar marinated mushrooms (optional)
1 medium onion
1 ¾ lbs ground beef
1 cube (3 T) butter
¼ tsp ground pepper

Into a deep saucepan, put Lawry’s sauce mix, pepper, butter, 6-oz can of tomato paste, plus 3 canfuls of water. (Note, instead of paste and water, you can sub in Italian style diced tomatoes). Finely chop the onion (and mushrooms, if using), and add to the pot.
Place on very low heat, just enough to simmer, for approx ½ hour
While sauce is simmering, brown ground beef and crumble finely.
When done, drain all grease off. When sauce has boiled down, add meat and Manwich sauce.
Utilizing same low heat, simmer again for about ½ hour and serve over cooked spaghetti.

By the way, it has a reputation for being best on the 2nd day

That's great! My husband loves that lawry's spaghetti sauce mix... which I find is meh. This will be a fun addition to try out. Thanks for posting.

I had to get creative last night, as there wasn't much in the fridge. We took biscuits and flattened them out, added a little tomato sauce for Zach and put on leftover ham, bacon and cheese. I cut up chicken, bacon and cheese with a little bbq sauce for my little pizzas.
The kid groaned when I was making them but he wouldn't stop eating them once they were done! It was cheap and easy but I'm sure it wasn't very good for us. It did taste ok though.

It's hot, we're having our long overdue heatwave. Caesar salad will be on the menu and some icy drink. Just bought a vitamix, sure beats the old kitchen aid blender to make frappaccinos (and what have you).

4 bottles of fuzzy water in the fridge should hold me tonight.

Lentil-smoked kielbasa soup and spinach provolone bread. Yup.

As a special treat for myself (ourselves) for the work hell I have been through recently, and only because I just got a nice bonus on Friday, Susan and I had dinner at a favorite spot in the Gaslamp District (Lou & Mickey's). My dinner started with a Ceaser saled and Susan had the clam chowder - both of which we shared. Dinner for me was a Filet with blue cheese on top + King Crab Legs (shelled) with a side of Mac & Cheese. I washed it all down with an Arrogant Bastard Ale.

Not exactly a healthy dinner, but damn it was good.
